Whether it&#x2019;s a close friend, a girlfriend or the love of your life, the loss leaves a deep void. But there are ways to deal with grief and find a way to heal.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\"><strong>Understanding the nature of grief<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\">Grief is a complex, individual process that knows no generally applicable rules. The loss of a loved one triggers a wide range of emotions &#x2013; from shock and despair to anger, guilt and deep sadness. These feelings are normal and essential parts of the healing process.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\"><strong>The phases of grief<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\">The grieving process can be divided into phases, but these are not always linear. According to Elisabeth K&#xFC;bler-Ross, these include denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Everyone experiences these phases differently, and that&#x2019;s okay.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\"><strong>Dealing with the loss<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\">Allowing and living out your grief is important in order to come to terms with the loss. Take the time and space to reflect on and express your feelings. Writing, drawing or making music can be helpful ways to process your feelings.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\"><strong><span class=\" cmtt_Contact us\"  title=\"Glossary: Support\"  data-mobile-support=\"0\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>Support<\/span> from people around you<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3a4557;\">It is difficult to bear the burden of grief alone.
